    I have cropped ever since we had more than one bully in the house. A couple years ago when we got a second one we wound up having to crop her ears because when they were playing her ear got split. I am not talking just the tip either, it was almost to the base of her skull. She never whined when it happened and it was only the blood that led us to a problem. They do play really rough so I now deem it necessary to be cropped in our house.
    In this instance, I can see it as necessary. But I do think a lot of times people get them because they're "tough" dogs and normally people recognize a pit by their cropped ears. This is when I don't understand the reason behind it, because I supposed there isn't much of one. I can't fathom causing my furry babies to be in pain for a cosmetic reason only. When I had my Am. Staff. people in publc would literally argue with me about her breed, because she had the cropped ears. I know they look almost identical, but she wasn't a pit.
